Examples

The following exmaple demonstrates how to read Outlook Message files.

[C#]

//Open Outlook Message files
MapiMessage msg = MapiMessage.Load(@"c:\outlookmessage.msg");

/read subject
onsole.WriteLine("Subject:" + msg.Subject);

/sender name
onsole.WriteLine("From:" + msg.SenderName);

/message body
onsole.WriteLine("Body:" + msg.Body);

/Attachments
oreach(MapiAttachment att in msg.Attachments)

   Console.WriteLine("Attachment Name:"+att.FileName);
   att.Save(att.FileName);

[Visual Basic]

'Open Outlook Message files 
Dim msg As MapiMessage = MapiMessage.Load("c:\outlookmessage.msg") 

'read subject 
Console.WriteLine("Subject:" + msg.Subject) 

'sender name 
Console.WriteLine("From:" + msg.SenderName) 

'message body 
Console.WriteLine("Body:" + msg.Body) 

'Attachments 
For Each att As MapiAttachment In msg.Attachments 
    Console.WriteLine("Attachment Name:" + att.FileName) 
    att.Save(att.FileName)
